Find missing & required codecs using CodecInstaller
Operating systems are based on a modular system that enable you to add or remove codecs that you require to open and save audio and video files, both for playback and those you've created. If you install any modern video or DVD editor, or a AV player, you'll find that a number of the most popular codecs are installed on your system. However, if you've downloaded an old video encoded in the 90s, you'll probably find that it was produced with an old Intel codec that has long since been discontinued. These were designed for producing video for playback from CD, so the quality was poor compared to modern codecs.
CodecInstaller 2.6.3 is a tool that you can use to check through your existing codecs and then it will inform you of codecs that are required, when you attempt to open or playback audio or video. It might not always be able to let you know where you can get the codecs, but a hunt around the Internet will more than likely find the codec you require.
